Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[Paddy O'Dors]

during the brexit negotiations we were told if we werent a member of the club we couldnt have the benefits of membership ( fair enough) , so how do the the ukraine now get NATO benefits whilst not being members?

You think those two Russian blokes really were tourists?

Because there are a bunch of Brits who want an authoritarian reactionary government rather than the British traditions of democracy and tolerance

All well and good if the government is authoritarian and reactionary in ways that suit them. They're stuffed if such a government starts doing stuff that limits their freedoms, both real and perceived.

This poor lass cannot get a word in edge ways on sky news. What’s the point, sorry we are going to have to interrupt

This. Dr Ironfist would love to batter Putin al owa

He would win only to die from his injuries hours later. Putin can handle himself for a 5’3 bloke pushing 70

How much of Ukraine do Russia want and how many of those people in those areas want to be part of Russia?

This thread(and the other one) is hilarious watching the jelly back gang trying their best to shoehorn Brexit into it wherever they can. I'm sure one of them will finally spin it in a way that this crisis or whatever you call it is all the fault of Brexit

What’s hilarious is watching Brexiters simultaneously try and decry Putin for putting out masses of disinformation and propaganda then claim that he did no such thing during brexit.

But aye crack on.

China must be pissing themselves laughing at this they are the only winners in the game

Not if the world and it's mother stops buying their shit...they lost me as a customer 2 years ago...I'd rather pay more and buy from UK.

Plenty of people who would be happy to give away their rights and freedoms (and everyone elses) in the name of security and identity.

Just look at how easy it was to persuade people to give up their right to free movement or judicial review?

have you seen any cruise missile strikes, torpedo attacks or bombing runs on Russia recently?

no? - then they aint getting the benefits of NATO

 

[bahtat]

Is this going to escalate in to a war that could effect our daily lives. IE like bombing our country and such

Bombs no but fully expect anything and everything to be hacked, bank systems unable to function or tube trains stuck in tunnels unable to move would do far more damage

So more of a tech war

If the country was getting bombed by Russia you wouldn't have time to realise given how fast you'd be vaporising in nuclear fire.

Good job I’m in the process of making a massive cockroach shell to protect me
